![]() Robber Soul (Also known as Rubber Soul) is a minor antagonist from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders who is the central antagonist of the Yellow Temperance Arc. Robber Soul as he appears in Stardust Crusaders As much as I like to root for the underdog and want to see niche games catapult to new heights, Mugen Souls needs so much refining that I can’t cheer it on.There are versions of this character available that don't have their own branch articles! Instead, the game throws so many overwhelming systems at you that many get lost in the shuffle. Some ideas here might have worked well if the developers had honed in on a few systems to perfect. To add insult to injury, Mugen Souls requires a significant grind, and with the broken battle system this stings tenfold. They’d be fun if they functioned well, but that’s far from the case. The pill is hard to swallow because these gameplay ideas aren’t awful. These become matches more about trial-and-error than an opportunity to strategize appropriately. Sometimes an enemy would repeat the same dialogue response, but perform a different action. Initially I loved this mode, but after the third battle, the ship battles stop following a dialogue pattern. Here, you must correctly anticipate your enemy’s next move by their dialogue cues. The mismatch doesn’t make much sense, but I found it hard to successfully charm enemies even when following their mood as the game instructs you.Ī similar frustration occurs with ship battles, which are a game of rock, paper, scissors. You’d think being callous would win them over, but if they’re in a bad mood, you’re actually supposed to be nice to them. The issue? Say their personality type is sadist. ![]() You choose dialogue responses to charm enemies and match Chou Chou’s personality to the enemy’s to up your success rate. Moe kills, where you try to charm the enemy using one of Chou Chou’s multiple personalities for bonuses, follow an unpredictable pattern. Some of these systems are also flat-out broken. They just tack on unnecessary options that aren’t deal-breakers for winning, instead of providing fun new additions to battles. But as it stands, most don’t add value to the gameplay. If these systems were fun and worthwhile, I wouldn’t have a problem. The game overwhelms by throwing plenty on you from the get-go in fact, just when you think you’ve got things figured out, another new aspect is unveiled. Unfortunately, they’re so over-the-top, it often leaves them more off-putting than charming.Ĭompile Heart, Mugen Souls’ developer, is known for creating extremely convoluted battle systems, and Mugen Souls definitely follows suit with its turn-based combat. That being said, characters building a close camaraderie is Mugen Souls’ most interesting dynamic – they’re a memorable bunch. ![]() While seeing characters show some levity is refreshing, the majority of the jokes lack wit, and plenty of the dialogue feels like filler. If that sounds like your type of party, then Mugen Souls definitely caters to your interests. ![]() Obviously, the game doesn’t take itself seriously the characters are kooky, outlandish, and openly talk about their sexual fetishes. She’s sassy and she changes her personality on the fly to charm others into being her peons. Just ask main character, Chou Chou, who is set on dominating seven disparate worlds and combining them into one super continent. From the battle system to the character personalities, everything is dialed up to 11, and not for the better. ![]() Mugen Souls has that potential, but then totally eviscerates it by trying to do too much. With a lull in the traditional RPG genre, this is the perfect time for niche series to captivate new audiences. ![]()
